Interpretation of Incidence Rates Data

Incidence Rate Report for New York by County

Incidence Rate (95% Confidence Interval) - The incidence rate is based upon 100,000 people and is an annual rate (or average annual rate) based on the time period indicated. Rates are age-adjusted by 5-year age groups to the 2000 U.S. standard million population.

Larger confidence intervals indicate less stability of the data. This is often due to low counts that are not quite low enough to be suppressed.

Data is currently being suppressed if there are fewer than 16 counts for the time period.

Interpret Rankings provides insight into interpreting cancer incidence statistics. When the population size for a denominator is small, the rates may be unstable. A rate is unstable when a small change in the numerator (e.g., only one or two additional cases) has a dramatic effect on the calculated rate.

Suppression is used to avoid misinterpretation when rates are unstable.
